Mr MacKrell told Bath Live he wants CCTV cameras installed in the area and for Curo to remind residents not to prop open the main flat doors but to leave them locked so that the security fobs serve their purpose.

He asked for a representative from Curo to meet him at his home yesterday lunchtime (Tuesday, September 11), but as of last night had not heard from the organisation.

Bath Live contacted Curo for comment on Tuesday (September 11) but had not received a response at the time of publication.

A spokesman for Avon and Somerset Police said: “We attended Lampards Building, Bath on Sunday, September 9 after a member of the public reported hearing what they believed to be people acting suspiciously.

Jim MacKrell came home to find the door from the car park to the flats unlocked and unlockable

“Officers conducted a search of the area but there were no signs of any crime committed.”

Lampards Buildings was home to one of 14 drug dealers jailed at the end of 2016 as a result of Avon and Somerset Constabulary's Operation Hydra.
